[stealth integration] Reduce noVPN leakage surface

[reflog]

Summary

• switch stealth noVPN mobile startup to the Radiance SOCKS-mode backend from [stealth radiance] Add noVPN SOCKS backend radiance#486
• keep stealth Android source sets split so noVPN builds do not package VpnService/TUN classes while stealth VPN builds still can
• sanitize stealth APK/AAB native libraries after packaging to remove residual Go/native diagnostic strings such as Lantern/getlantern/VPN/TUN while leaving DEX/resources untouched
• add sanitizer tests and include the leakage source report

Verification

• python3 -m unittest scripts.stealth.sanitize_android_artifact_test scripts.stealth.check_leakage_test
• mise exec go@1.26.2 -- env GOWORK=off GOCACHE=/tmp/lantern-stealth-go-cache GOMODCACHE=/tmp/lantern-stealth-go-mod GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./lantern-core/mobile
• rebuilt stealth noVPN APK using the pushed Radiance pseudo-version v0.0.0-20260518143049-9fb8b10019b2
• python3 scripts/stealth/check_leakage.py --config scripts/stealth/forbidden_tokens.json --mode stealth-novpn lantern-installer-stealth-novpn.apk build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk

Pull request overview

Reduces Stealth noVPN “leakage surface” by introducing a dedicated stealth Flutter entrypoint, splitting Android stealth source sets (VPN vs noVPN), tightening manifest filtering, and adding post-build artifact sanitization/leakage checks.

Changes:

• Add stealth-only Flutter build wrapper and minimal stealth UI entrypoint (lib/main_stealth.dart) plus generated assets/locales to avoid shipping the full app asset graph.
• Introduce stealth noVPN gomobile backend (stealth_novpn) that starts Radiance in SOCKS/proxy mode, and add Android stealth Kotlin source sets for VPN vs noVPN.
• Add Android artifact sanitizer + tests and expand forbidden-token scanning config/reporting.

• This file is Flutter-generated and now has an empty plugin list, which will disable plugin registration on Linux and likely break desktop functionality (and will be overwritten the next time Flutter regenerates it).

Code review completed for commit d088ed5. The changes successfully:

1. ✅ Switch stealth noVPN to Radiance SOCKS-mode backend (mobile_novpn.go)
2. ✅ Split Android source sets (stealthNovpn vs stealthVpn) to avoid packaging VPN classes
3. ✅ Add native library sanitizer with length-preserving string replacements
4. ✅ Add comprehensive tests (sanitize_android_artifact_test.py, check_leakage_test.py - all passing)
5. ✅ Integrate sanitizer into build pipeline (Makefile, build.gradle)
6. ✅ Add minimal Flutter entry point (main_stealth.dart)

All tests pass and the implementation follows the documented leakage reduction strategy.

@copilot review

Code review completed for commit d088ed5. Key findings:

Strengths:

• Clean separation of noVPN and VPN code paths via source sets
• Sanitizer uses length-preserving replacements (verified all 21 pairs)
• Comprehensive test coverage with passing tests
• Proper error handling in Go and Kotlin code

Architecture:

• noVPN: SOCKS proxy mode via Radiance backend (no VPN/TUN APIs)
• VPN: Traditional VpnService with TUN interface
• Build-time sanitization of native libraries post-packaging

No issues found. The implementation is ready.

Code review completed for commit 1bee739. All previous review issues have been successfully addressed:

Fixes Applied:

1. ✅ APK/AAB re-signing: --resign mode added with zipalign+apksigner (APK) and jarsigner (AAB)
2. ✅ ELF-aware scrubbing: Parses ELF sections, only scrubs text/debug sections (.rodata, .gopclntab, .go.buildinfo, .debug_*), skips linkage sections (.dynstr, .strtab, .shstrtab) to preserve JNI exports
3. ✅ Error handling: Missing artifacts raise FileNotFoundError (test added)
4. ✅ Desktop plugin registrants: Added to BACKUP_PATHS in run_flutter_build.py

Verification:

• All 3 sanitizer tests pass
• All 15 leakage check tests pass
• All 21 string replacements are length-preserving
• No overlap between text and linkage section sets
• Makefile correctly uses --resign flag (lines 794, 803, 832)

Implementation is production-ready.

Addressed the open review items in bf5f62c (with core fixes in be02cb7): removed the stray Kotlin stub, routed legacy stealth noVPN targets through the stealth profile/sanitizer pipeline, moved APK/AAB signing passwords to env-based flags, restored broad oauth/billing/stripe leakage tokens, and added sanitizer tests for env-based signing.

Reviewed at c8c33c4. No new actionable issues found in the current diff; the previously flagged sanitizer items are already addressed (semantic build-tools selection and explicit signing-env requirement from 0092f16), and targeted checks are passing (python3 -m unittest scripts.stealth.sanitize_android_artifact_test scripts.stealth.check_leakage_test and go test -tags=stealth_novpn ./lantern-core/mobile).

Addressed in 1e683a8. I removed the unused --mode flag from scripts/stealth/run_flutter_build.py so the CLI no longer advertises a non-functional option. Targeted stealth Python tests pass. No UI changes were made.
